Baroness Amos: No earlier Answer exists for the reference provided by the Noble Lord.
	I presume from similar Questions which the noble Lord has tabled recently that he intended to refer to my Answer given on 21 December 2004 (WA 135).
	I have nothing further to add to this earlier reply.

Baroness Amos: I am advised that the Newforge Country Club in south Belfast is a private members club owned by the RUC Athletic Association and I am therefore not in a position to provide the information requested by the noble Lord.
	Background Note
	The RUC Athletics Association (RUCAA) is a wholly private company, limited by guarantee, and while it is sustained mainly through subscriptions of individual police officers, past and present, and an annual policing board grant, the organisation remains a separate entity and is de facto a commercial enterprise. Decisions on membership and security are determined by the RUCAA.
	The RUCAA's main premises are purpose-built sports and recreation facilities at Newforge in south Belfast and operate as an exclusive private members club.

Baroness Amos: There is only one party, funded by the Department of Education, in connection with the purchase of property to be developed as the Middletown Centre for Autism and to which directors have been appointed; namely the Middletown Centre for Autism (Holdings) Limited. The directors of this company are Maire Foley and Ruth Hamilton, appointed by the Department of Education, and Michael Flanagan and Hubert Loftus, appointed by the Irish Department of Education and Science. Nominees for potential candidates for the two Northern Ireland posts were canvassed from within the department and set against criteria to consider those with relevant and specific experience in finance, autism and capital projects. It is not for Her Majesty's Government to comment on how the Irish Government arrived at its directors.
